Hi everyone!
Found this site and knew I had to join. I recently retired and decided to add seven chickens to my life. I have four Rhode Island Reds and three Barre Rocks. They are just about ready to lay. As a youngster we had about a dozen hens and a couple of roosters. So I do have some experience although quite a way back.
I just came back from putting in an outside of coop laying box. I took a small dog carrier that I have and filled it with straw. They also have two laying boxes in the coop. It will be interesting to see which they use most.
Looking forward to fresh eggs and learning along the way.
Best wishes to everybody.
